IPM Awarded 2017 Gold Award for Achievement of Excellence by the ILPEx Recognition Program

The award is granted to Illinois organizations that demonstrate effective and systematic continuous improvement processes and principles based on the Baldrige Excellence Framework. ILPEx Gold Award recipients exhibit the ability to display measures to track operational and strategic goals and execute improvement processes that are integrated, repeatable, and regularly evaluated.

“Continuous improvement is in our DNA. Our family members are deeply committed to the pursuit of excellence,” said C. Richard Panico, IPM’s Founder, President, and CEO. “Through their efforts, I am honored and grateful to say we were granted the ILPEx Gold Award for achievement of excellence in performance practices, principles, and strategies. I am blessed to lead a group of talented individuals who share a commitment to excellence.”

Since 1994, there have been 13 ILPEx Gold Awards granted out of more than 270 applicants.

IPM plans to continue the journey of performance excellence by pursuing the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
